Monogamy

• Carmen:

  *reading from dictionary* Okay! We’re talking monogamy! It is a noun. And…it is the condition or a practice of having a single mate during a period of time.

• Shane:

  I get it, Carmen.

• Carmen:

  Wait a minute, I just want to make sure that you and I both know what we’re talking about here. Um… Oh! Listen to this, monogamy is common among birds

• Shane:

  That’s great ‘cause I love birds.

• Carmen:

  It is the practice of having a single mate during a period of time. Does that mean anything to you?

• Shane:

  I’m willing to try...Is that not enough? I’m willing to try something that doesn’t come naturally to me, and that I don’t understand but am willing to try?

• Carmen:

  Mmhmm. Right. Birds, Shane, I’m talking about a god-damn fucking bird. Asking you to be as civilized as a god-damn fucking bird.
